@@stephenmccain Not sure if you would know the answer to this, but I'm currently on Tesofensine. Would you have any insight into running Tesofensine and 5 Amino at the same time?
Great question. I don’t think it would a waste because you would most likely be preventing some of the calories going to fat via the inhibition of the NNMT enzyme. Plus, the muscle stem cell activation could be useful in a bulking phase.
Is this ok for women to take as well? I definitely want to be lean and strong. Im running MAPS Anabolic, i have good strength but would love to drop about 15 lbs.
You can definitely take this. It works on a cellular level, so it's not specific to gender. That program is good for building muscle. I would move into a calorie deficit after you have the muscle you desire. My favorite supplement to use it essential amino acids. You can skip a meal and take EAAs...that will preserve your muscle and only give you 2 calories. You can get them in my Thorne dispensary for a discount at: www.ThorneDiscount.com Hope it helps 👍
I prefer the growth hormone peptides. Maybe Tesofensine or Methylene Blue as well. And essential aminos (ThorneDiscount.com) and sauna after weightlifting. I could go on…but just start and gradually get more sophisticated.
5 amino will increase metabolic rate and I feel it is more suited for resistance training. MOTS-C is a mitochondrial peptide that is better suited for cardio.
@@OptimizedforlifeMB is a MAO inhibitor, so it might effectively be like taking a stronger dose of Tesofen. You do get some neuroprotective benefits with MB, as well as Mitochondrial benefits. However, I am personally not a fan of stepping on the gas too hard with things that modulate neurotransmitters.
@@stephenmccain if I may ask, I’m training for a upcoming work acedemy for 3 weeks of PT. I’m on 5-amino, BPC-157 and next month gonna start Tesofensine along with a 1month break off 5-amino before getting back on. Anything else I should use? My main concern is the endurance PT test on day 1 to pass. Thank for all that you do!
@@Optimizedforlife I a little confused. You want to be ready for a PT training? Your not injured right? Your most concerned with being physically ready for an endurance session?
I've taken it for one month now at 150 mg with no change in my normal diet and exercise routine. Diet is fairly good as far as calories and workouts are consistent. I have experienced no change in fat loss or muscle gain, what am I missing.
Interesting. And you have noticed nothing in terms of muscle activation? It's difficult to offer you advice because I have no idea what your diet or workouts are like...including other lifestyle factors like stress. I will say this...not everyone will respond the same. For the people that 5 amino 1 mq works for....they love it. I am in that camp. It's not a miracle molecule. But most guys that I know that are really connected with their workouts experience a boost. In the very least, you will experience a NAD boost that has anti-aging benefits.
@@stephenmccain thanks for getting back, I have experienced some feelings of better muscle activation but I'm also hitting the gym with a very structured routine in plan so I can't truly say it has to do with the pills.
@@stephenmccain but 5 weeks on 150 mg no change in body fat percentage, I think for the price there's not much of a benefit for me personally. 6 1" 220. 13% bf, eat healthy but not to the point where I count everything. No fast food ever, drink occasionally pretty much your average 40 you would see lifting in the gym.
Interesting. Have you tested your hormones? 5 amino 1mq is not a miracle molecule, but I find it interesting that you received no perceivable benefit. @@ryancooke4331
I have been on 100mg for a total of 3 months now but started with 50mg for the first month. The first month no real change to body fat but a huge change in clarity and vision. Another big change was it forced me to stop smoking I don’t know if it was part of it but I no longer smoke and my breathing feels 10x better. The second month is when I bumped up to 100mg and towards the end of the month I noticed I dropped 20 pounds. Now in month 3 I am down an additional 5 pounds. The weight loss is great but what is even better is my blood work. I had high cholesterol, high liver enzymes, high kidney enzymes, and my glucose lever were pre diabetic before I started this and now they are all at normal levels. I also noticed a big change in my vision where I no longer have to squint at small words. I am 35 years old 5’9” 266 lbs waist size 38 before I started this peptide and now I am officially as of today 234 lbs and down to a 36 waist.
This peptide will allow you to get results without being perfect with your diet. Obviously the better your diet, the better the results. Ultimately, your calories will be determined by your goal and where you are in your program. 5 amino 1 mq is a nice addition anywhere in your program. I usually recommend at the start of a program because most people need to create momentum for success.
I think it would pair very well with Mk677. Just don’t take mk677 for longer than 90 days in a row. You can get get some receptor issues if you don’t cycle. It will increase your hunger, so I would be lifting weights to increase muscle mass. I have never used Carderine, so I am hesitant to give any recommendations.
Thanks for the review 👍🏾
No problem 👍
@@stephenmccain Not sure if you would know the answer to this, but I'm currently on Tesofensine. Would you have any insight into running Tesofensine and 5 Amino at the same time?
Can you take the 5 amino 1MQ along with the tesofensine? Take in the morning? or at night? empty stomach or not? Thanks!
Yes, you can. Take them in the morning. If you are underfed because of Tesofensine, you will get more of the fat loss attribute of 5 amino.
Wow, the exact question I had 👍🏾
The answers in your comments section from yourself is the best info I’ve got from all the videos
Excellent, sometimes easier to explain things after a specific question 👍
Thanks for the tip
Any time
Any blow back after the cycle?
Great video! Can you take the 100 mg all at once in the morning? Or does it need to be split up during the day?
You can take it all at once
I just 3 grams of powder and I have no clue how to dose it. I got Limitless.
You need a scale. I believe Limitless sells them. Measure 50mg. Take with water.
should you take it fasted in the morning like most peptides ?
I don’t believe it matters. Not technically a peptide. I always take mine in the morning or afternoon.
Does this require a PCT afterwards or drop my natural testosterone
No, definitely not.
Would this be a waste to take when in a caloric surplus for a bulking phase? Thanks sir!
Great question. I don’t think it would a waste because you would most likely be preventing some of the calories going to fat via the inhibition of the NNMT enzyme. Plus, the muscle stem cell activation could be useful in a bulking phase.

@@stephenmccain awesome! Thank you
@@hockeymomavalon2499 my pleasure
Will it be the same dosage for women that for men?
Yes
What fat loss peptide would be best to run with this? Mot?
I prefer the growth hormone peptides. Maybe Tesofensine or Methylene Blue as well. And essential aminos (ThorneDiscount.com) and sauna after weightlifting. I could go on…but just start and gradually get more sophisticated.
How does 5 amino compare to MOTS-s? Which is the better option?
5 amino will increase metabolic rate and I feel it is more suited for resistance training. MOTS-C is a mitochondrial peptide that is better suited for cardio.
@@stephenmccain do you see a problem with taking tesofensine while supplementing with Methylene Blue?

How can this be stacked with AOD9604 for 3 months?
Easily. Just take both at recommended doses.
Take them with or without food ?
You can take with or without food.
I dont see the discount code

Would running this with cardarine and mk677 be good? Or just cardarine and 5 amino 1mq
I think it would pair very well with Mk677. Just don’t take mk677 for longer than 90 days in a row. You can get get some receptor issues if you don’t cycle. It will increase your hunger, so I would be lifting weights to increase muscle mass. I have never used Carderine, so I am hesitant to give any recommendations.
@@stephenmccain doesn’t mk677 increase stress hormone?
@@stephenmccainhow long of a break is needed after 90 days mk 677 before starting again?
I wouldn't take mk677 ever. Ostarine instead.
@@JaysonT1where do you buy ostraine?
why take a month off?
It works best in short dosing cycles 👍
Can you just take NAD+ ?
Great question. It’s actually the inhibition of the NNMT enzyme that reduces fat…even though the net effect is more NAD.
5-Amino-1MQ is not technically a peptide.
